Product details
Overview
M95040-WMN6TP from STMicroelectronics is a 4-Kbit (512-byte) serial SPI bus EEPROM with 16-byte page architecture, 20 MHz max clock frequency, and 2.5 V to 5.5 V single-supply operation. It features hardware write protection (quarter/half/whole array), 4 million write cycles, 200-year data retention, and integrated ECC for single-bit error correction - deployed in industrial control modules for nonvolatile parameter storage across power-loss events.
For engineers reviewing the M95040-WMN6TP datasheet, M95040-WMN6TP pinout, M95040-WMN6TP application, or M95040-WMN6TP equivalent, key selection criteria include SPI mode compatibility (CPOL/CPHA = 0/0 or 1/1), hold functionality for interruptible communication, identification page support (in DF variant), and voltage-range alignment with host MCU I/O domains.
Technical Context
This device implements a standard SPI interface with dedicated HOLD and WRITE PROTECT inputs for real-time bus arbitration and memory lockdown. Its internal architecture includes an ECC x1 engine per byte, status register with WIP/WEL/BP bits, and a high-voltage generator enabling byte- and page-write operations within 5 ms.
It supports two SPI modes (CPOL=0/CPHA=0 and CPOL=1/CPHA=1), requires a falling edge on chip select (S) before instruction initiation, and enforces strict timing for write enable/disable sequences - all governed by a built-in power-on reset (POR) circuit that prevents spurious writes during VCC ramp-up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 4 Kbit (512 × 8-bit array), organized as 32 pages of 16 bytes each |
| Interface | SPI bus compliant with CPOL/CPHA = (0,0) or (1,1); MSB-first, 8-bit instructions |
| Write speed | Byte or page write completes in ≤5 ms; no external delay required |
| Supply voltage | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic systems without level shifting |
| Data retention | 200 years at +25 °C; validated under JEDEC JESD22-A117 stress conditions |
| Endurance | 4,000,000 write/erase cycles per memory location - sufficient for daily firmware logging over 10+ years |
| Operating temp | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded controllers and sensor nodes |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in RoHS-compliant SO8N (ECOPACK2, 150 mil width) package - 8-pin small-outline integrated circuit with gull-wing leads, pin 1 marked by notch or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| S | Chip Select | Active-low enable; falling edge initiates instruction decoding; high impedance Q output when deasserted |
| C | Serial Clock | Input timing reference; latches D on rising edge, drives Q on falling edge |
| D | Serial Data Input | Carries instruction opcodes, addresses, and write data; sampled on C rising edge |
| Q | Serial Data Output | Drives read data and status register contents; high impedance during HOLD or S high |
| W | Write Protect | Hardware lock: low disables all writes regardless of WEL or BP bits; must not float |
| HOLD | Communication Hold | Pauses active SPI transaction without deselecting device; requires S low and C low to activate |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | 2.5–5.5 V input; decoupling capacitor (10–100 nF) required near pins |
| VSS | Ground | Reference for all signals; must be connected directly to system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated ECC x1 | Corrects single-bit errors on every read - eliminates need for external CRC or retry logic in safety-critical logs |
| Configurable block protection | BP1/BP0 bits in status register enable software-selectable write lock for upper quarter, half, or full memory array |
| HOLD function | Enables deterministic pause/resume of SPI transfers - essential for multi-master bus arbitration and real-time OS context switching |
| Power-on reset (POR) | Prevents spurious writes during VCC ramp-up by holding WEL=0 until stable supply is confirmed |
| Identification page (DF variant only) | 16-byte dedicated area for calibration data or security keys - permanently lockable via LID command (not applicable to -WMN6TP) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT25040B-SSHL-T | 4 Kbit SPI EEPROM; 1.8–5.5 V supply; no HOLD pin; 10 MHz max clock | Lacks HOLD functionality and ECC; lower max clock limits throughput in high-speed logging | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for hold arbitration or ECC robustness |
| BR24G04FJ-WE2 | 4 Kbit I²C EEPROM; 1.7–5.5 V; built-in write protect; no SPI interface | I²C-only interface requires different MCU peripheral and pull-up design; no HOLD or fast page write | Choose only if system already uses I²C bus and SPI pins are constrained |
Compared with AT25040B-SSHL-T and BR24G04FJ-WE2, M95040-WMN6TP delivers deterministic SPI bus control via HOLD, faster 20 MHz operation, and on-the-fly ECC correction - making it optimal for real-time industrial and automotive systems where data integrity and bus responsiveness are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What SPI modes does M95040-WMN6TP support?
M95040-WMN6TP supports exactly two SPI modes: CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0 and CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1. In both, data is latched on the rising edge of C and output on the falling edge. The difference lies only in idle clock polarity - C remains low in mode (0,0) and high in mode (1,1). No other SPI modes are functional.
Does M95040-WMN6TP include an identification page?
No. The identification page (16-byte RDID/WRID/LID-capable area) is exclusive to the M95040-DF variant. M95040-WMN6TP is a -W suffix part and lacks this feature - its memory map is strictly 512 bytes of user EEPROM with no dedicated ID region.
How does hardware write protection (W pin) interact with software block protection (BP bits)?
When W is driven low, all write operations (WRITE, WRSR, WRID, LID) are disabled unconditionally - overriding any BP bit configuration. When W is high, BP1/BP0 bits determine which memory regions are software-locked. Both mechanisms are active simultaneously but W has priority; neither affects READ or RDSR operations.
What is the purpose of the HOLD pin, and how must it be timed?
HOLD pauses ongoing SPI communication without resetting state or deselecting the device. To activate, HOLD must go low while C is already low; to release, HOLD must go high while C remains low. Violating this timing causes undefined behavior - the device may ignore the hold request or enter an unrecoverable state until S is cycled.
